Asia Cup. The Men in Blue will play Hong Kong this evening in Dubai, who beat the UAE to qualify for the tournament. Overall India and Hong Kong have played two matches at the Asia Cup and both were played in the 50 over format.
In June 2008, India thrashed Hong Kong by a record 256 runs in Karachi. This remains the largest margin of victory in terms of runs by any team at the Asia Cup.
Then in 2018, Hong Kong pushed India hard, eventually falling short of the target by less than 30 runs. India won that match in Dubai by 26 runs.
India are the defending champions, having beaten Bangladesh in the last edition's final in 2018 by 3 wickets. In T20I cricket, the two teams will be playing each other for the first time.
